SOREL x SHARP

To withstand a Canadian winter, footwear must be able to handle wet cold, shifting terrain, and long days on foot. Can a boot meet each of these demands without compromising style? If the new Horizon Collection from SOREL is any indication, the answer is a resounding yes.

Justin and Katie, SOREL Horizons.

Captured on site at Dimensions Retreats in Algonquin, the Horizon Collection evokes an ancient sense of adventure. Forged for the most intense winter conditions, this stylish collection from SOREL innovates on the iconic Caribou model. Throughout the series, you’ll find boots packed with high-tech features and shaped by a common theme: purpose-driven design. As the term suggests, this new launch enhances its temperature-regulating tech and streamlines the contours of each boot. The result is a slimmer, trimmer shadow that proves this iconic silhouette from SOREL can adapt — and lead — the contemporary fashion scene.

Leading the collection is the Caribou Horizon GTX, an evolution of the brand’s foundational winter boot. Updating its classic form, the latest iteration is offered in camo suede, full-grain leather, or ballistic nylon. A certain down-to-earth sensibility ties the look together, from the colourways to the materials. Green camo and caribou buff options cut through the cold weather with warm, earthy palettes while the sleek black iteration sports chic red stitching. While the Caribou bridges heritage and performance, the Daystorm Horizon GTX pushes the limits of contemporary winter gear. Clean lines and smooth construction lean into a minimalist design language, while well-crafted winter features show that functionality can be fashion forward. Both boots feature a patented waterproof Gore-Tex upper, which fights off winter weather without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile, molded XS TREK EVO Vibram™ outsoles provide traction in slush and snow. With updated designs, these boots prove themselves to be dependable and stylish winter staples.

These tundra-tested features fit seamlessly into today’s streetwear scene, packaging rugged hardware inside a slick silhouette. Visible across the icy Arctic fields, SOREL boots stand out for their stylish approach to winter gear. It’s no surprise that SOREL was the brains behind the first boots to reach the North Pole by overland expedition; the new collection is just as daring.
